Make an Ocean in a Bottle

Materials

• Mason jar (we like this set from Amazon)

1. Fill your container 1/2 way with water and add as much blue food coloring as desired

2. Fill the rest of the container up with baby oil or vegetable oil. Try and fill the container as full as possible, reducing the amount of airspace that will be left after you screw on the lid or cap.
